Open field - Solid objects

What we call "open field"?

Large lots or acres of land with tall grass, weeds and light brush. The heads recommended on this section are for open fields that have lots of rocks, fences, trees or other solid objects.

Bladed units are the best heads for large lots with tall grass and light brush however, due to the nature of the blades, these units are not recommended to use around rocks, fences or any other solid objects. Not only blades will wear out faster but they can become quite dangerous against rocks, bricks or concrete. To solve this issue you can either use a line unit that can take thick line or a Multi-Tool head that you can switch from blades to line once you encounter any solid objects or rocky area. The recommendations are based on the type of job to be performed but the head your trimmer can use will depend on the brand, type and engine size.

Make sure you check the Brands Section to see which of the heads listed below your trimmer can use.

Recommended Heads

We recommend the following heads for open fields with solid objects (click on the link for more information):

• 3630 - Bump & Feed style head. Takes .095 and .105 line.
• 7800 - Bump & Feed style head. No need to remove the spool to load more line. Takes .080 and .095 line.
• 4750 - Multi-Tool. Switch from nylon blades to line (.080, .095 or .105). No need to remove the head off your trimmer to add line or change blades.
• 8010 - Pre-Cut line unit. Comes pre-loaded with really thick .130 line. Can also take .095 or .105.

Remember:

• Blades should be used on tall grass, tough weeds and brush only. Line units work better on short grass.
• Use only the blades designed for the specific GrassGator head model. Metal blades (4690) are designed to work ONLY with our brush cutter model 4680. Do not use metal blades on any other GrassGator head.
• DO NOT use bladed units around solid objects.
• DO NOT use vertical or as a saw.
